i support the plan for TNI AL but others, i dont think so. the TNI AL increasing vessel and support facilities is a good thing and will bring development to the neighborhood so its good. for other i dont see it become better. dont know what the higher ups see.
wedgetail for AWACS ???that is super surprise
sorry if i offend you at comment before. it just this thing takes a lot of times and it build a lot of unnecessary antagonize when visiting the Indonesian forum by its user making any discussion just frustrating and inconvenience.
I think it does get better....regardless of whether it's significant or not...
Like a new class of LPD has been launched recently by PT PAL, which is a modified Tarlac class. And there's a plan for second batch of Chang Bogo submarines produced mostly locally.
Aster 30 SMPT at >120km is a long range missile system. Aster 15 at >30km is the medium range version.
As for NASAM, I know the sale brochure denotes medium range. But it is in the same categoey as Spyder SR. Both NASAM and Spyder uses a medium range aams i.e. Amraam versus Derby/python 5. Maximum for both systems (if they leverage on the latest version of both missiles) range is probably around 15km to 30km at most. Note: the latest Derby is comparable to Amraam 120d. Indonesia does not have Amraam 120d.
TNI-AU already bought a batch of AIM-120C7 for F-16
So, they may purchase the same variant for surface launched model. But, for any AAM converted to SAM, the effective range is roughly halved.
Considering that this is one of the PH Navy Gregorio del Pilar-class frigates (in truth old Hamilton-class US coast guard ships ) , which are probably the best ships the PH navy has currently, I doubt that.
Yes....sending A400M for regular cargo sorties seem very inefficient. Better use the money to build low cost local cargo ships and ports. It takes less than $11mn to build the new Bintuni Class LST. Can carry hundreds times more cargo than A400, although much slower
It's fortunate that these submarines are based on old design. But, a diesel sub is a diesel sub. It's very quiet when running on battery. CBG subs of South Korean Navy managed to get close to US Navy carriers during exercises.
They will also have new electronics, sensors and black shark torpedoes, so it's not bad.
The newly developed twin-engine S / UAV (Anka 2) of TAI is being tested in a low-speed tunnel in Indonesia. TAI will produce joint S / UAV with Indonesia. Credit to Türk Savunma Sanayi.
